ask
ask is a reporter that is used to make the agents in the agentset do something. The syntax of this command is ask *agentset/agent* [insert command here]. When ask is used with an agentset, each agent will take its turn in a random order. For example,
ask turtles [ fd 1 ]
ask patches [set pcolor pink]
Each time this is run in the observer, either the turtles will move forward first or the patches will turn pink first. It is random every time!
